danceprincess Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Is there a ballet talk dictionary or a topic which explains some of the abbreviations used on this site such as DD,RDA, etc? Link to post
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted January 11, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yes, there is! Just scroll down the pinned topics on this forum and you will see Important Acronyms. I think most of them are there, not sure about RDA....that is Regional Dance America, which is the National organization consisting of the regional organizations like SERBA (Southeast Regional Ballet Association), NERBA (Northeast), etc. Link to post
Twinkle Mom Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Here is a link to a locked topic with most of them, I believe: http://dancers.invis...?showtopic=6018 edited to add--Sorry, Ms. Leigh, I must have been posting at the same time as you. Link to post
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted January 11, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 That's okay, Twinkle Mom! Appreciate your posting the link, as I am on a browser that won't do that. Link to post
ascballerina Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I would just add that on that list, the National Ballet of Canada is listed as NBC. I've more commonly seen it here as NBOC. Perhaps that has changed in the almost ten intervening years since that list was originally posted? Also, BT4D, while admittedly a bit obvious, isn't on there, either. Link to post
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted January 11, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 That is because I refuse to use numbers for words. It is BTforD, which is even more obvious! Link to post
ascballerina Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 You might not use that abbreviation, Ms Leigh, but other people do! (I usually hate seeing numbers as words, but in this particular instance, it doesn't bother me) Link to post
